welcome
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Marque, the re-launched magazine for BMW and MINI owners
here in WA. We’ve carefully curated a collection of lifestyle features and BMW and MINI-focused features
which we believe our readers will enjoy every quarter.
BMW’s Auto Classic dealership loves keeping their knowledgeable and affluent customers right up to date with
the latest developments in the world of BMW, and Marque offers you, the advertiser, a unique opportunity to
engage with our dynamic and cultured BMW owners.
Research shows that BMW owners are quality conscious and discerning and Marque reflects this with its
spread of like-minded advertising partners in the magazine. We would like you to also enjoy the privileges of
association by being part of the Auto Classic success story.
We believe choosing to advertise in Marque will elevate your brand and unlock new, lucrative markets thanks
to the magazine’s access to some of Perth’s best addresses.
I’m confident that you’ll discover within the pages of Marque a new route to advertising success and encourage
you to talk to our helpful sales team at Premium Publishers today.
